    Hope Naebbirac is getting on ok this morning. Can't imagine trying to scoot around on a computer chair in this house, too much stuff. :o

    Hope pain is under control N and wishing you speedy recovery x


    Thanks TS. Lots of pain overnight, but watched the vote results when it woke me up. I can make coffee and a sandwich now as I can scoot about.
    Elbow crutches are painful to use as all my weight is on my left leg, which I also damaged in the fall, (grazed and bruised my knee, and painful quads), and I bruised my right arm and shoulder too. In all I'm a wreck at the moment :o Taking lots of naps when the painkillers kick in, but bored silly when I'm awake.:rotfl:
